London Prices
Last updated: September 2007
If London prices is what you're after then you're in the right place because I have loads. Choose your home country and the prices will be converted
based on today's exchange rate. I promise it's not my intention to scare you! If you are coming to London to live, then look for cheap
hotels for the first days and get a job as soon as you can because once you start earning the mighty pound life gets a lot better. In the UK tax is included so the price you see is the price you pay.

THINGS TO NOTE:
- Accommodation - Hostel prices will vary widely. Dorm beds can go as low as £8 or as high as £25 so keep this in mind.
- Transportation - Single trips are far more expensive without an Oyster Card. You need an Oyster to buy a weekly or monthly travelcard.
- Attractions - Prices listed are for adults. If you have a student ID or are travelling as a family there are usually deals.
- Groceries, Health & Beauty - Prices have been taken from the Sainsbury's website since they're an average priced supermarket. There are cheaper options but you can also do worse than shopping there.
- Meat & Veggies - For things that are sold by weight I've tried to give the per kilogram price to make things easier to compare.
- Snacks - Prices come from city centre corner stores. Prices can vary but not usually too drastically.
- Booze - Prices are also from the Sainsbury's website but corner stores often do good deals. You can find bargains if you hunt around.
- Gym Memberships - Many offer discounts if you work for large organisations like the NHS so make sure you ask.
